Shanky’s Whip The Original Black Liqueur and Whiskey Blend

Shanky's Whip is an Irish black liqueur and whiskey blend, made by Shanky and Shireman and bottled at 33%. It combines the velvety smoothness of a liqueur with the character of Irish whiskey, built on a whiskey base refined with natural flavours. The liqueur takes its flavour from a blend of vanilla, toasted caramel and dark spices, set against a light maltiness from the whiskey, which gives it a balance of sweetness, spice and creamy texture that sets it apart from classic whiskey liqueurs.

The nose is creamy vanilla, toffee, light roasted aromas and a hint of chocolate, while the palate is soft and full bodied with caramel, vanilla cream, malt and spicy oak, closing long on a balance of sweetness and light whiskey notes. In a drink it brings a creamy sweet body, a toffee and vanilla depth and a soft whiskey backbone, the kind of liqueur that adds richness without losing the spirit. Its sweet and spicy profile makes it good neat or over ice, and it works as a base for creamy cocktails, especially variations of the Espresso Martini or White Russian. Serve it chilled or over ice to keep the texture soft and the spice in check.
